<h4>Chapter 898 - The Guardian</h4>
Darlene couldn''t understand what Aria and Leon were talking about. Still, given Aria''s shocked look, she could guess that the origin realm of souls was an amazing ce.
No, it was just an amazing ce; it was a mythical ce.
After Aria and Darlene listened to Leon''s recount of his experience in the Astral Soul Realm and the benefits he reaped from that ce, Aria and Darlene were shocked beyond belief.
Even so, they were happy for Leon.
Although the dangers of the Astral Soul Realm were unclear, the fact that Leon made it back with a fruitful harvest from that ce was a blessing.
"I''m in shock… to think such a ce exists," Darlene uttered with lingering shock from the list of benefits Leon mentioned to them.
Suppose someone could stay in the Astral Soul Realm and absorb all the purest soul energy in that ce. Wouldn''t it be easy for them to reach the same realm as the gods and devils from the primordial era?
Heck, it might even be possible to surpass them.
"However, this Astral Soul Realm exists in a different ne that runs parallel to the real world. Even if we seek it, it won''t be easy to enter. Leon''s case is very special," Aria stated.
If it was so easy to enter the Astral Soul Realm, there should have been some records or even mentions of it.
However, information on the Astral Soul Realm was so scarce that people didn''t know it existed. And those who did know about it, regarded it as a myth.
"For now, we should keep an eye out for any records pertaining to out-of-body experiences that we may stumble across. Don''t attempt to enter the Astral Soul Realm on your own. We don''t know what other underlying dangers are in that ce," Leon reminded them.
"Mm," Aria and Darlene nodded.
They have too little information on the Astral Soul Realm. Even if they wanted to enter that ce, they didn''t know how to do it.
"I''m more curious about your father''s doppelganger. Do you really think it was your inner demon, Leon?" Aria asked.
After she raised the question, Leon fell silent and contemted the matter.
"At first, I really did think it was my inner demon. But now that I look back on it, it doesn''t make sense for an inner demon to be in that ce. Instead, it might be a guardian tasked to remove intruders from that ce," Leon spected.
"A guardian that looks like yourte father from the Divine Realm?" Darlene raised her doubt, having learned about Leon''s past life.
"It''s probably a mimic ability to affect my state of mind," Leon replied after some thought.
"Anyway, let us put aside the Astral Soul Realm''s matter for the time being and focus on you two," Leon suddenly said.
He cast meaningful nces at Aria and Darlene before he added, "It seems like I wasn''t the only one with gains. The two of you have grown a fair bit stronger."
Although he seemed calm, he was actually surprised.
Aria and Darlene didn''t make any advancement in theirws. Instead, it was their body cultivation that improved.
"Hehe, so you noticed," Aria giggled before she said with a bit of embarrassment, "Actually, my improvement was all due to your… your essence."
"My essence?" Leon was taken aback.
Aria nodded.
After pondering for a few moments, Leon quickly understood what was going on.
"I see," Leon uttered.
He injected his sterilized essence into Aria and Darlene every round during their dual cultivation to prevent impregnating them.
Nevertheless, his sterilized essence was no different from pure energy.
Furthermore, he has the True Grandmist Body and Rank 9 Body Transformation in the consolidating viscera phase.
Thus, it wasn''t strange if his sterilized yang essence contained the essence of True Grandmist Energy.
"Still, for your body to improve this much with just my yang essence… it appears that my yang essence is even more effective than True Grandmist Energy, huh?" Leon uttered thoughtfully.
Aria had only achieved the bare minimum of Early Rank 1 Body Transformation in all five phases.
But after she absorbed his sterilized yang essence, her five phases all reached Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation.
On the other hand, Darlene reached Rank 2 Body Transformation in the flesh-tempering and bone-forging phase.
If he was topare himself with the current Darlene based on raw physical strength alone, she was, without a doubt, the winner.
"It seems we have a female gori in the family now," Leon teased her with a smile.
"Who are you calling a female gori?!" Darlene said snappishly, feeling both angry and embarrassed.
She quickly pounded Leon''s chest with her fist in response.
However, she identally used too much strength, causing the grass bed under them to copse to the ground.
Nevertheless, no one was hurt due to their high defense.
"A-are you alright, Leon?!" Darlene panicked.
She didn''t expect her casual pounding to contain so much strength. At the same time, she had forgotten the grass bed wasn''t that sturdy, to begin with.
"Hahaha," Leonughed it off.
Shortly after, he wrapped his arms around Aria and Darlene''s waist and pulled them closer to himself.
"Shall we roll in bed a bit more before we head back to the Infertile ins?" Leon asked with a meaningful look.
Aria and Darlene immediately became shy; their heads lowered without replying. However, Leon knew that was their silent approval.
They wouldn''t go against his wishes.
Furthermore, the soul-disappearing incident had truly scared them. Thus, making love to them would effectively eliminate any residue fear of that incident.
"Who wants to go first?" Leon smiled at them.
"Hehe," Aria chuckled softly. Then, she nced at Darlene next to her and said, "Sister Darlene, he''s all yours."
"Ah?" Darlene uttered with surprise.
"I guess it''s decided then," Leon chuckled before he quickly released Aria from his embrace and flipped Darlene under him.
"Ah, wait a minute… I''m not ready~!" Darlene''s body trembled with delight under Leon''s tender touches.
Shortly after, Darlene''s erotic cries resounded throughout the small stone room.
